Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960)

The greatest movie ever made..!

Purely Joyful Movie!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I hate to say it but I believe Glauco has really done it this time. Zeus took away his wits already and now Glauco had the nerve to show up in this terrible "comedy". I don't think Zeus is amused with this film and neither am I.It is so bad that I had to hurry up and skim through it just to find out if it was going to get at least a little bit better but it did not. This might have been funny in 1960, but I found zero humor at all.This is an unfunny "comedy". I doubt if I ever try watching this mess again. At least there are 3 other movies on the same disc.1/10

Taken within the confines of the genre this is a humorous silly adventure. What sets it apart slightly from the usual run of the mill toga films is an odd jazz flavored score and the presence of Rod Taylor at the beginning of his career. Within a few years he's be working for Hitchcock starring in The Birds as well as appearing in other big budget films like The V.I.P.S. and The Time Machine something that no one else in the cast or any other of these sex and sandal flicks ever got remotely close too. Taylor was always a big beefy guy but he is positively dwarfed by Ed Fury, who physique is as usual in awe inspiring shape. Loaded with homo-erotic subtext and dreadful dialog watch this for its camp value and a star on the rise.

I rate this movie as pretty good. The action part of the plot was not bad for such fare - after all sword and sandal epics were not known for top notch plots or dialog, but the attempt at humor were simply stupid. It would have been a much better movie without them. The budget obviously left no room for retakes; I noticed three goofs: A trumpeter at the very beginning dropped his trumpet then picked it up; the queen once had to lower her head to stifle a giggle and the high priestess tripped over something.The attack of the horse mounted freed male slaves on the Amazon city reminded me a lot of the Indian attacks on wagon trains in old television and movie westerns I found the use of the beatnik style jazz sound track in this ancient Greece set movie kind of interesting. So was the extended avant garde dance sequence in the middle. Very "Bohemian". So bad it is good you might say.

This is absolutely the worst movie ever made, and not just in this genre. The actors look like props and act like robots. The dubbing is laughable and makes the Japanese movie dubbing appear to be most excellent.It is difficult to tell if this movie was intended as a comedy, or supposed to be an adventure movie, since the whole thing is laughable and it is hard to tell when the plot and acting is supposed to be funny, since all of it is ludicrous. The acting is so atrocious, that at times it becomes funny. This movie is/was most appropriate for fans of Mystery 3000 Theater, in which Crowe, and his companions sat watching as they ridiculed the film.This movie begs the question, 'Why was it made," and I can only surmise the producer and director were on hallucinogenic drugs. Nothing in this movie suggests that anyone had any idea why they made it. The whole thing is either like a bad nightmare, or, an LSD trip gone bad. If you like to sit and make fun of the movie with your friends, add your own comments.If you can get over the fact that this movie actually had a screen writer, a script, and nothing but idiots running around on the screen without the slightest clue on why they are being filmed, forget the bad colour, you may be able to stomach it.
